One sip and your diet may crumbl.
Crumbl Cookies’ new ultra-sweetened, caffeinated concoctions are being slammed by health experts after a fitness influencer exposed how much sugar they have.
The drinks called “Chargers” combine soda, energy drinks and syrups into what critics describe as a nutritionist’s worst nightmare.
“Crumbl Cookies is now selling you a drink that is 186 grams of sugar,” Itay Shechter, who shares health and nutrition information online, said in a viral video posted on May 31.
“That’s almost half a pound of sugar or five cans of Coke. They call this ‘Crazy Cousins’ and indeed, you’d have to be crazy or completely ignorant to drink 840 calories [in a 32-ounce serving] of liquid garbage.”
The US Department of Agriculture recommends no more than 10 grams of sugar per meal.
Women should cap their sugar intake at 25 grams per day and men should consume no more than 36 grams, according to the American Heart Association.
Crumbl Cookies named the super-sweet treat a Charger – a caffeinated spin on its original “Dirty Sodas,” which officially launched in test markets in 2025 and continue to roll out at new locations in the US and Canada.
Dirty Sodas are soda-based drinks with added flavors, syrups, lime and cream. Crumbl offers 40 different combos.
The Dirty Sodas and Chargers are still described as “new” on the company’s website.
The chain also offers water-based drinks it calls “Coolers,” for non-soda fans.
It contains Red Bull – which has 114 mg of caffeine in a 12-ounce can – Sprite, pineapple and strawberry syrups, and coconut cream, according to Crumbl’s website.
“You should have to sign a waiver,” one stunned X user reacted to the video recirculating on X.
“That’s not a soft drink, that’s a glucose stress test,” another quipped.
No one is forced to buy the drink, argued others who said those who take issue with the sugar-caffeine overload can simply steer clear.
“Nobody is forcing people to eat or drink their stuff,” one user wrote.
“If you don’t like it don’t buy it. It is none of your business [what other people buy],” another agreed.
Crumbl does not have its nutrition facts listed on its site or on its app — sparking transparency concerns.
“This is less about one drink and more about normalization,” Dr. Darin Detwiler, a food safety advocate and professor at Northeastern University, told The Post.
“A drink containing soda, Red Bull, and flavored syrups is essentially stacking multiple sources of sugar and stimulants into a single serving.
“The concern is that these products normalize levels of sugar and caffeine that many consumers would not intentionally choose if presented clearly.”
Registered dietitian-nutritionist Lauren Manaker said she hopes consumers view the drink as a “novelty item” opposed to a daily pick-me-up, and that it isn’t something she’d recommend drinking.
“That’s a lot of sugar!” she wrote, completely stunned by the staggering amount.
Health officials have waged war on overly sugary drinks.
In a March CDC article titled “Rethink Your Drink,” the agency warned sugary drinks are the leading source of added sugar in Americans’ diets – leading to daunting health risks including obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy previously took aim at Dunkin and Starbucks for their ultra-sugary coffees and their potentially dire impact on the country’s youth.
“Americans deserve to know exactly what is in the foods and beverages they consume, so they can make better and more informed choices for themselves and their children,” HHS told The Post.
“The Trump Administration is committed to empowering all Americans with clear information as part of our broader efforts to combat the chronic disease epidemic.”
